I really hate how Stone Wardens have this de-synergy between their offense and their defense. This problems stems from the fact that you get a free block from Eldritch Slam, which would be fine by itself, but then you also get a block cd reset from Eldritch Fury, and from lvl 5 Eldritch Slam. Those abilities are really, really powerful.
Having those abilities means that I've gotta either feel bad about saving them for the extra blocks(which is super OP for defense with eternal guard btw), or I've gotta feel bad about saving them for when I want the offense. No matter which way you cut it, the abilities just feel bad to use because either you put it off for offense, or you put it off for defense.
If you want SWs to have a ton of blocks, then just make Eldritch Fury & Slam reduce Block's CD more if you 5 them, but don't give them 2 block resets on top of a free block! You might be going like "oh it'd be boring if you just got a lower block cd instead of block cd resets", but there's a such a thing as trying too hard to make sure that something isn't boring! This is one of those cases.
This, imo, would make SWs feel a LOT better to play, instead of feeling bad to play. I mean it's one thing to just have opportunity costs with ability usage, but this is just $*!&ing ridiculous!
